Of course preparations will be obvious to Western & Ukrainian intelligence for such a large-scale attack if it were to happen. If this is real, Poland & the whole #NATO will need to consider what to do when Russia brings war & slaughter right to their border.

General #Gerasimov issued orders to the entire Russian army:
1) Phones & tablets banned. Soldiers complain this will prohibit use of drones.
2) Non-army vehicles banned. Civilian vehicles have been used because of vehicle shortage.
3) Beards banned. Everyone must be clean-shaven.
453
As many have pointed out, Gerasimov's order for all Russian soldiers to be clean-shaven may be in preparation for the potential use of chemical or biological weapons in #Ukraine which would necessitate an air-tight seal for gas masks.

#Putin scheduled to make a public address to the people of #Russia tomorrow, January 18th.
Could be any of the following:
1) Formal declaration of war against #Ukraine.
2) Mobilization
3) Martial Law
Next phase of war is coming. #ArmUkraineNow!

We must stop referring to weapons & other resources being sent to #Ukraine as 'aid.' It's not aid, we are arming our common frontline in the war against fascism. This is not charity. Ukraine is sacrificing everything for the free world in the fight against tyranny. #ArmUkraineNow

🚨 BREAKING: Russian news report that #Toyota restarted exports of spare parts to #Russia. This is extremely troubling if true. Hopefully Toyota excludes dual-purpose electronics, but even if so, horrible message to send as Russia murders Ukrainians daily.
